In countries where trees are abundant such wattled structures are common as temporary buildings as they can be constructed in a very short time. Cattle were probably housed in them (Genesis 33:17). Such hurriedly-made huts were used by soldiers (2 Samuel 11:11 1 Kings 20:12) and by harvesters-hence, the name feast of "booths" or "tabernacles" (see TABERNACLES, FEAST OF).
